Creation

There is really only one race of people: the Human race. What people now define as races are in fact imperfect categorizations of different physical features that people who come from within a defined geographic area have in common. It is man's nature to box and to categorize, and the "races" are just another example of this tendency with no scientifically sustainable method of drawing hard lines between the "races".

Sloths have evolved to have slow metabolisms, long claws for hanging on trees, and a specialized digestive system to break down their leafy diet efficiently. Their slow movement and greenish tinge help camouflage them in the treetops, protecting them from predators.

The Intelligent Design movement has been seeking scientific backing for creationism since the late twentieth century. Unfortunately for the movement, no such support has been forthcoming, nor is it likely to come, since so-called Intelligent Design is unsupported by facts or evidence.

9Then God said, "Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear." And that is what happened. 10 God called the dry ground "land" and the waters "seas." And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, "Let the land sprout with vegetation-every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came." And that is what happened. 12 The land produced vegetation-all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.

13 And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day.

Hope that helps!

In the Christian perception of God, he should never need to rest, thus making the seventh day an anachronism. However, the Jews wanted to know why they were required to hold the seventh day to be a day of rest. One version of the Ten Commandments says that God commanded the Israelites to respect the sabbath day because that was the day on which God rested.

The great German Mathematician Grollmitzer was experimenting with differential calculus (aka Kalkuluos in that time) when his long time Russian friend Swares Konkarow gave him an inspiration. Grollmitzer was also a friend of a Chinese biologist, know as Diana Tulip in England, and together they discovered a mathematical equation for evolution and modern creation theory. So, in a way, there is mathematical evidence that supports the Modern Creation Theory. Thanks to Konkarow,Grollmitzer, and Diana.

The Institute for Creation Science and Answers in Genesis are just two organisations that have speakers available to give lectures on Creationism.

On the sixth day, God created all land-dwelling creatures. He also created Man ("Adam" is a derivation of the Hebrew word for man) from the dust of the ground. He brought all of the land animals and birds to Man to have him name them. When Man had finished this and there was found no creature like him, God said that it was not good for Man to be alone. He caused Man to fall into a deep sleep, during which He formed a wife for Man out of his side. When Man awoke, he saw his wife and named her Woman.

Note: Woman was not called by the name Eve until after the Fall in Genesis 3.

According to the Bible, God created light on the first day by simply saying, "Let there be light," and separating it from darkness. This act of creation is often seen as the beginning of the process of forming the universe.

The story has different interpretations depending on which bible is being used as well as who is doing the interpreting. The first five days of creation are much the same in most bibles. It has always been my understanding that there were 7 days of creation. It's on the 6th day when the story seems to take a bit of a twist. God says '..let us make man in our image..'. For some scholars, it is believed and taught that God is simply 'stating'' that He is going to be creating man in His image but did not actually do it on the 6th day. On the 7th day God rested. So now we have 5 consecutive days of creation, and two days when God did not work, the 6th and the 7th.. Immediately following God's day off, the story says that God prepared a garden and begins the forming of Adam. Clearly, it is another day and God is back at work again. Although it is actually the 8th consecutive day, it is widely accepted as being the 6th day of creation. This particular interpretation seems somewhat incomplete. The story of creation as I have known it, was that God did in fact create ' mankind ' on the 6th day, that is to say He populated the entire earth with people of all races. It also seems to make the timeline more accurate. Six consecutive days of creation, the 7th day of rest and the creation of Adam and Eve on the following day. This seems more sensible of an interpretation. A point of interest happened while Caine was argueing with God saying that he had no place to go and that "..they will surely kill me.." Who are " ..they?". Certainly, there were other people on the earth before Adam and Eve.

For starters, the universe was formed from a big bang not crunch.When the big bang happened a bunch of rocks and gases were in space.The rocks and gases then clumped together and then planets were formed.

The days of Creation have always been a matter of debate. Not all believed in a literal 6 24 hour days like the Post Roman Catholic fundamentalists. In fact most did not think this is what was meant here. Many early church fathers saw the first 7 days as 7,000 years. The Bible makes two interesting statements, one in 1 Peter (a day unto the Lord is as 1,000 years unto man) and the other in Psalms 90 that led many early Rabbis and even the students of the apostles to believe they could each have been 1,000 or more years. Why? Because the number 1,000 to the ancient Hebrews was an almost uncountable sum that could represent more than 1,000 because the text in Psalms implies 1,000 years to man is like a blink of God's eye. It is said that Gid is the owner of the cattle of 1,000 hills but in truth they are all His and there are many more than a mere 1,000 hills, Therefore before Adam we are speaking of days as God saw them not as man sees them. The bible always speaks in terms of 10's of 1,000's and we have summations like 10,000 x 10,000 and never millions or billions. A great scientifically oriented perspective comes from MIT Professor Dr. Gerald Schroeder titled "The Age od the Universe". I recommend reading this before coming to any dogmatic conclusions. Paul

Dear asker

May I submit my opinion only regarding your question. As space is not empty but consists of spirit matter and the force which governs it. The spirit matter is so fine that it is not visible. The force is the power of God. He has the power to organize that matter to any form he so desires. Now comes the tricky bit. If God is able to organise that spirit matter then it must have some degree of intelligence to be able to obey. A grain of sand is made up of atoms so that we can see it, but it's intelligence is still only that of a grain of sand as it is with all things. It is this writers opinion that all that we see around us, including man was made spiritually before being sent to earth. The scriptures tell us that God made man from the dust of the earth and placed in him his spirit (And intelligence) so that he became a living thing. This may also apply to the first animals and plant life.

The scriptures tell us that they were on earth before Adam because Adam had to name all of them. The way is now paved so that through the natural process of procreation these waiting spirits may come to earth in their own allotted time and place. Remember this is only the opinion of this writer.

The Pillars of Creation are a star-forming region in the Eagle Nebula, estimated to be about 5.7 million years old. The iconic pillars themselves are no longer standing as they were destroyed by a nearby supernova explosion approximately 6,000 years ago.

Sirius is located about 8.6 light years away from the Sun.

The artist put her heart and soul into the creation of a stunning masterpiece.

No. The Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter. The Solar System is about 26,000 light years from the center of the galaxy. Thus the furthest stars which are in the galaxy would be about 74,000 light years away but we can't actually see them because there is too much gas and dust and other stars in the way. The Milky Way does have four dwarf galaxies nearby. two of them are closer than 100,000 light years. The other two, the Magellanic Clouds are farther, 160,00 and 200,000 light years away, respectively. Individual stars can be seen in those galaxies and imortant studies of them have been made. In particular, study of the cepheid variable stars in those galaxies showed a simple mathematical relationship between their pariod of variability and their absolute magnitude, or brightness. Once the actual distance to a nearby cepheid was determined, this allowed us to calculate the distances to all known cepheid variables, including those in the Magellanic Clouds and other galaxies out to a few million light years distance.
